| Nov. 6, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: shipping more than 1 bat at a time The USPS, UPS, or FedEX might carry 36" tubes. Amazon does, but a little pricey. I bought a couple from the USPS to put in my bag to make it easier to put in and remove a bat. |
| Oct. 13, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 75 AAA pitcher MDog. There's a another 75AAA looking for a pitcher and a few other healthy players. Several teammates are retiring or moving on to another sport. Team is based in So. Cal and is partially sponsored. Please dial 760-533-8230 and speak with Howard. |
| Oct. 6, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 35-35 Amazing! During our BP session today, I showed Col Mike Smith this thread. He takes out his phone, pulls up HOF Don Clatterbough. During a stretch of tournaments, Don went 102 out of 104 at bats and he had power to spare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7V1F-EEYLE |
| Sept. 7, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Definition of "moderate speed" of a pitch I'm thinking what would be considered a pitch that is too fast originated from close to the 50' pitching rubber and only reaches 6' high. Most of those type 0f pitches probably only reach the front of the plate. |
| Sept. 3, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: Product review Discussion: Thumb gaurds Not really, but more controlled and consistent swings. At 76 my bat speed is still going to come from good and consistent swing mechanics and time in the gym. In all honesty, I doubt the MLB players, who get these guards for free, are getting more bat speed or power. Another item used is the bat grip taper. Makes the left hand feel so much more comfortable. |
| Sept. 3, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: Product review Discussion: Thumb gaurds I've used both the guard with a wider rounded end and the thumb pro. The thumb pro is the only one used currently. It works on either hand, feels comfortable, no sting in cold weather, and helps keep the bat positioned properly in my hand. The Thumb Pro initially cost $25, but is at $30. The Pro Hitter's product can be bought for about $9. If you do buy one of them, get two. I've had a couple misplaced the last couple of years. |

| Aug. 9, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Tag Up If I don't know the umpire, I let them know that I'll have one foot hanging over the lead edge of the bag and the other one behind the bag. I'll start moving towards the next bag when the ball is a couple of feet from the glove. The lead foot is still in contact with the bag, but my 150lbs is already in motion. Haven't had a defense appeal leaving too soon in years. |

| May 10, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Courtesy Runner Situations like this should have been handled at the beginning of the season or at least before a tournament starts. |
| May 7, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Shin Guard Recommendations Because of their size, soccer shin guards don't cover as much of the leg starting above the foot. One high bounce to the knee can do some damage. |
| April 25, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Softball: A hitter's game? Benji4 Major+ are usually stronger in all aspects of the game. More athletic players, more speed/quickness, better hitters, more power, better arms, and yes, better defense. |
| April 25, 2023 DieselDan | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Softball: A hitter's game? Since playing HS sports never happened, had to work, competitive "ball" started in 2013 for me. Even back then I always wondered, since we're not as quick as we used to be, why most infielders still want to play on the dirt with runners on 1st or 1st and 2nd. That extra 20-30 feet might allow at least a force out instead of another base runner. A pitcher who can cover 1st/2nd is gold. Another key to good defense, is a good 1st baseman who can pick up the throws in the dirt. Remember, the glove is for catching the ball, not picking it up, especially when the ball is rolling less than 5.2 MPH. |
